Hamas open to any truce plan that includes Israeli withdrawal

A Hamas official said on Oct 30 that the group had not received any proposals for a Gaza ceasefire, but would discuss any ideas that include an Israeli withdrawal.

It comes as more than 100 people were killed on Oct 29 and 30 by Israeli military strikes.

"We have not officially received any comprehensive proposal. We are prepared to engage with any ideas or proposals presented to us, provided they ultimately lead to an end to the war and a withdrawal by the army from the (Gaza) Strip," the official told AFP.

The official, who preferred to remain anonymous, added that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is obstructing truce efforts to push an agenda of "genocide, ethnic cleansing and displacement" made possible by the absence of US pressure.
